Give me your hand!

Picture this: you are precariously pushing a grocery cart with one hand through the parking lot and holding your child’s hand with the other. Your car keys are in your mouth. Is this your worst nightmare or an every day occurrence? You can breathe now. The problem has been solved. The Reisenthel “motherchildbag” (from $11 – $20) gives you an extra hand, or really an extra handle for your kid to hold. And what kid doesn’t want their own special handle?

The spacious bag is simply and well designed of sturdy polyester. It comes in some fantastic colors: off-white, red, blue and lime with a graphic of a Mom and child holding onto the “motherchildbag.”On the inside of the bag there is a little pocket for your cell phone. It fits the iPhone perfectly. I doubt my phone would even fall out if the bag were to be toppled over by a wee one. It also has a larger zip pocket for your wallet, keys and what every you might need easy access to. To top it off one Euro from the sale of the bags is donated to the “Reisenthel Initiative for the Promotion of Selected Children’s Day Care Facilities (I am sure that would much more succinct in German).

And if that weren’t enough. I just spied a picture of Sarah Jessica Parker wearing the off-white one in one a tabloid magazine.
